The parish is 125 years old and so is its system of management;

Wrong again. It's hard to believe you are in good faith when you keep repeating these falsehoods.

Progression of St. Stanislaus Parish Corporation

Structure of the Parish Corporation in 1891 when Archbishop Kenrick Deeded the Parish Property

• A Missouri benevolent corporation formed in 1891
• Archbishop appoints six directors and successor directors; the Pastor is also a director
• Any dispute or controversy among the directors is referred to the Archbishop whose decision is final and binding
• The powers of the corporation must be exercised in accordance with Church law and any amendment to the Bylaws must not conflict with Church law
• Upon dissolution of the corporation, all assets become the property of the Archbishop


Structure of the Parish Corporation as Amended in 2004 without the Approval of the Archbishop

• A Missouri benevolent corporation formed in 1891
• Directors are elected by the parishioners; the Pastor is also a director
• The Archbishop has no authority with respect to the corporation and all references to the Archbishop or the Archdiocese have been removed from the Bylaws
• Upon dissolution of the corporation, the parish assets are to be transferred to a Roman Catholic religious organization promoting Polish language and heritage, selected by the Board
